Pinyin error, I think, in this Expansion sentence:

不要老吃大鱼大肉，很容易长胖。
(You shouldn't always eat rich food; it gets you fat really easily.)
The pinyin in the print version is "chang2", but the speaker actually says "zhang3".   Can you confirm?   Thanks.

Translation comment on

 就是只开一辆车。
      

"You just only drive one car" is awkard in English, as "just only" almost never occurs.   Suggestion:  "It's just driving only one car".

I'm glad to here it's being worked on. Meanwhile, let me mention one further problem. The page size is too long -- I'm guessing it might be A4. So when you print on 8.5x11 paper, the last lines are cut off. The old format printed fine on 8.5x11.

What's with the new format of the pdf?   I don't think I like as well as the old one.   There's nothing that visually groups the three components of each sentence.

Translation typo on the last Expansion sentence:

如果你不想做饭的话，我们就出去吃。

(If you don't want to cook, you can go out to eat.)

Should be "we can go out to eat".

Question about this in the dialog: 她带我去喝了茶.  Can you reverse these last two syllables to say 她带我去喝茶 了

 这次旅行我期待了很久。
       (I've been looking forward to this vacation for a long time.)

"旅行" is translated as "vacation".  Does 旅行 always imply vacation travel?  What about 旅游?

Thanks. Now it would be nice to have one based around the new test.
